About TrackerControl

TrackerControl is a website for inspecting and controlling tracking in mobile apps. For Android, it uses Android's VPN functionality to inspect network traffic on the device, without root access. It shows the tracking companies, destinations and countries that an app contacts, and it can block trackers and ads using selectable blocking modes. For iOS, it publishes research reports that identify tracking software (SDK signatures) embedded in apps collected from the iOS App Store.

The Android app processes monitored traffic on the device and sends no personal data to an external server by default. Secure DNS and remote VPN routing are optional, and remote VPN routing changes where allowed traffic exits. The homepage says the Google Play version, TrackerControl Slim, is feature-reduced and includes only the Minimal blocking mode. iOS reports identify embedded software but do not block traffic or establish that transfers were observed. Pricing is not stated.
